Hole Seventeen

A dog leg to the right with out of bounds down the right. Depending on the wind, the hole can vary from a difficult five to an easy four. Deep bunkers to the left of the green mean it is better to approach from the right. Beware of the OOB lurking all the way down the right hand side of the hole.

Pro's Tip

A par 5 that tempts you to take it on. Longer hitters need to choose whether to carry the out of bounds or aim down the fairway with less club.

Second shots can get caught up in the grass mounds. If they are around your distance plan to finish short of them or well over.

Beware because approach shots race away from the front of the green to the back very easily. The area just short of the green is quite firm and the normal wind is of the sea (down wind).
